Beschreibung:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'networkmanager-libreswan' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0356 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A flaw was found in the libreswan client plugin for NetworkManager (NetkworkManager-libreswan), where it fails to properly sanitize the VPN configuration from the local unprivileged user. In this configuration, composed by a key-value format, the plugin fails to escape special characters, leading the application to interpret values as keys. One of the most critical parameters that could be abused by a malicious user is the 'leftupdown' key. This key takes an executable command as a value and is used to specify what executes as a callback in NetworkManager-libreswan to retrieve configuration settings back to NetworkManager. As NetworkManager uses Polkit to allow an unprivileged user to control the system's network configuration, a malicious actor could achieve local privilege escalation and potential code execution as root in the targeted machine by creating a malicious configuration. (CVE-2024-9050) Affected Software/OS: 'networkmanager-libreswan' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
Querverweis:	Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) ID: CVE-2024-9050
